A constitutional reform is possible in the next few years, said Miguel Angel Cardoza, former judge of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) and the Supreme Court of Justice (CSJ) in light of the fact that reelection is already a reality.

The lawyer made a broad assessment during an intervention in the interview program Frente a Frente of the Telecorporación Salvadoreña (TCS), in which he valued the resolutions of the TSE and the electoral process towards February 2024, in which several “interpretations” of the Constitutional Chamber took place to favor the controversial reelection of Bukele.

Cardoza asserted that the Constitution of the Republic must be re-examined, because of the reinterpretations of the clauses that cannot be modified and thus allow a continuity in the government of the current president if he wins in the electoral process of February 4, 2024.

“I believe that yes, some things in the Constitution need to be reviewed very thoroughly.

It would also have to be questioned because it was a stony clause that there could not be reelection and it has been interpreted, it was a stony clause that you had to wait five years and it has been interpreted”, commented the former magistrate during the interview.

In his opinion, and this is something in which many agree, El Salvador and the world have changed and he considers that the Magna Carta must also be revised because “there is another reality, that is to say, the laws, the Constitutions themselves respond to concrete realities”, he remarked.
